there is no gravel or any other area for aircraft to be parked outside the circular apron at both airfields. At Colonsay there is a small fenced off area on the grass with large concrete tie down blocks for the Laird's aircraft
I was there on Tuesday and found that there is a perfectly acceptable area of grass adjoining the circular tarmac apron - on the east side of it - which can be used for parking. We pushed back on to it, luckily far enough to be out of the way of the laird's 206 since it took off an hour later. I'd say there's room for two aircraft on that grass area and still enable the Islander to taxi in and turn round to get out again. But no doubt the council will have other views.
